7. your favorite movie?
I'm not a movie fan, I know very unusual here in the US of A but if I have to point to a movie that I have seen and liked that was Bridget Jones Diary

8. favorite book?
I have no favorite book, my Kindle app is filled with hundreds of books. I'm a mystery/thriller lover.

9. your favorite tv show?
We canceled our cable this year, we hardly watched tv and it was a huge cost. We purchased an Apple tv gadget and took out a Hulu Plus membership for 7.95 a month and watch whenever or whatever we like. i have so little up-time that watching tv during that time seems like a waste of time. If you have only 1 or 2 hours to spare a day you have to make choices of what you're going to do. Watching tv is mostly last on the list. I enjoy comedy series like The Big Bang Theory.

10. if you could have 3 wishes what would they be?
I'm going to be very selfish and spend those 3 wishes on myself.
1. I would like my health back
2. Be able to travel - New Zealand here I come!
3. Buy that little remote farmhouse and rescue more Border Collies that we now can. I would love some chicken, a donkey and of course geese and sheep for the Border Collies.

Since I now have my health back I can do some good work for the community and start changing the world beginning at home.

1. Where are you from?
I was born in Texas, but have lived in Alaska for more than 45 years - so I feel that I am from Alaska.

2. Do you have kids?
My husband and I have a combined family of kids - my two, and his five. All grown up now, with family of their own.

3. Do you have any pets?
We have Murphy, a yellow lab. Although he is more like our kid, than a dog. We love and spoil him so.....

4. Your favorite color?
Turquoise

5. Your favorite food?
Hot Chocolate - Then Pizza.

6. Are you married?
Yes, to a very kind and loving man.

7. Your favorite movie?
"Love, Actually"

"The Dovekeepers", by Alice Hoffman

9. Your favorite tv show?
I have several - NCIS, Castle, The Mentalist, Burn Notice, and Vegas. I especially love to watch old black and white movies.

10. If you could have 3 wishes what would they be? I'm sure that we would all wish for a peaceful planet and the end of hunger and illness - but one wish I truly have is that we discover a better and more effective way to educate our young people, rather than housing then in classrooms for years on end, for a horrible cost. Education should be free.

This is fun! I had no idea this community was so world wide, it's great!

8. Favorite book?
Again, way to many, but "These is My Words", by Nancy Turner, "Divergent" and "Insurgent" (and anxiously waiting for the third next fall) by Veronica Roth are probably my top favorites

1. where are you from?
US - New England (I’ve lived in all the New England states at one point in my life, except Rhode Island & Connecticut).

2. do you have kids?
Yes – two boys. One’s in 10th grade, the other's in 3rd grade; and they couldn’t be more different… LOL

3. do you have any pets?
Yes – a blue point Siamese & a seal point Siamese. They are brothers & are 4 y.o. – we adopted them 2 years ago from a family with little kids that terrorized them so they’re a little bit skittish. I would love to get a lab puppy again, but not sure the cats could handle that...

5. your favorite food?
This is a hard one, as I like so many different kinds of food.......Italian, Mexican, Austrian, French, Irish, etc. But I guess I’ll have to say it’s a toss-up between my grandmother’s lasagna & lobster (having lived in Maine for 10 years I really grew to like clambakes - “lobstah,” clams, corn on the cob, a biscuit and blueberry cake).

6. are you married?
Yes – we’ve been together for 20 years & will be approaching our 20th anniversary next year.

7. your favorite movie?
My husband would say “While You Were Sleeping” with Sandra Bullock (just like the main character, I want that "stamp" in my passport! LOL), but I just don’t know – I'm leaning more toward the Anne of Green Gables movies... I like a lot of different movies, comedies especially. A lot of the movies we watch are made-for-tv movies on the Hallmark channel (nice, family-friendly movies) or old classics &/or musicals.

8. favorite book?

Hobbit/LOTR series by JRR Tolkien. 2nd favorite is the whole Shannara series by Terry Brooks (there are a TON of books – I’ve read/purchased most of them). Can you tell I like scifi/fantasy?

9. your favorite tv show?
Most of my favorite tv shows are gone… *sigh* I liked everything from Star Trek to Magnum PI to Dukes of Hazzard to Sliders to Stargate SG-1 to Home Improvement to JAG to Ballykissangel to Monarch of the Glen to Alias to Missing to Castle. Also like a lot of shows on HGTV (i.e. Love It Or List It & House Hunters International).

10. if you could have 3 wishes what would they be?
Restored back to full health; no financial worries; travel throughout the world with my family & maybe move to an area we fall in love with along our travels (right now that would be Maui &/or PEI, but I have yet to go to Europe ).

2. do you have kids? Married 36 years and have no children, by choice.
